Answer The firmware you just flashed on the HBA does not run until a diagnostic reset occurs.
If you exit the utility and reenter it, the version string is updated.
Question This image does not contain a valid nvdata when I try to flash the firmware, why?
Answer You are expected to concatenate a proper nvdata image on to the firmware.
MPTUTIL keeps you from flashing an image without one. To concatenate nvdata
and firmware you need to run the mptutil -o -d
64it__l.fw,sas106x.dat,output.fw command. .
• 64it__l.fw is the firmware image without a nvdata image
• sas106x.dat is the nvdata image. This file depends on the type/rev of HBA
on which the firmware is used
• output.fw is the name of the file created with the firmware and nvdata
concatenated. This concatenated image can be used for all boards of this type
or revision.
Question How do I program multiple cards in a system from the command line?
Answer MPTUTIL (EFI) does not support this.
Question Can I program a new flash and option ROM in the same command line argument?
Answer Yes. Run the mptutil -f <firmware_name> -b <option_rom_name>
command.

EFI Commands
To configure an Integrated Mirror (IM) Array on the SAS Controller, use the following EFI commands:
• DRVCFG (GUI interface)
• CFGGEN (command line interface)
NOTE: If you are not using the IM functionality, do not follow these procedures.
DRVCFG Utility
To configure an IM on the SAS controller, follow these steps:
Starting the DRVCFG Utility
To start thedrvdfgconfiguration utility, follow these steps:
1. Select the EFI Shell from the console menu.
2. Type drvcfg -s and press Enter.
Using the DRVCFG Utility
The configuration utility uses several input keys (F1, F2, HOME, END, and so on) that may not be
supported by all terminal emulation programs. Each of these keys has an alternate key that performs
the same function. Review the terminal emulation program documentation to verify which input
keys are supported. If problems occur using any of the function keys or HOME/END/PGUP/PGDN,
it is recommended that the alternate keys be used.
There are general key inputs throughout the configuration utility that apply on all screens:
F1 Help Context sensitive help for the cursor-resident field.
Arrow Keys Select Item - Up, down, left, right movement to position the cursor.
Home/End Select Item - Up, down, left, right movement to position the cursor.
